A famine-stricken camp housing about 500,000 displaced people in Sudan has received its first convoy of aid in months. The United Nations' trucks arrived in Zamzam - which houses masses forced to flee during Sudan's 18-month civil war - on Friday. The UN's World Food Programme (WFP) said food deliveries had been held up for months by fierce fighting in the nearby Darfur city of el-Fasher, as well as the "impassable" roads brought on by the rainy season. The war - a power struggle between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) - has created the world's largest humanitarian crisis, forcing 10 million people from their homes and pushing communities into hunger.
